After all of the frenzy of the Six Nations, the LV= (Anglo-Welsh) Cup reaches its conclusion at 3pm on Sunday. For all those rugby fans suffering from a final Six Nations weekend hangover (in every sense of the word) and are looking to escape the attentions of their mothers, the match at Sixways promises to be a cracker.

Despite all of their success in recent years, this will be the first time that the Saints and Tigers will have met in a major domestic final, which is sure to add something extra to the game. Traditionally a tournament that encourages a bit more of an open game, with the personnel on show there could be some high quality rugby on display – with Leicester especially boosted by released England pair Thomas Waldrom and Toby Flood.

The Tigers snuck past perennial rivals Bath in the semi-final 16-17, thanks to a fearless display from teenage fly-half George Ford, who is sure to be an England player of the future. The Saints secured a comfortable win against a depleted Scarlets side to make to the final. Despite the usual tendency to field weakened teams in this tournament, in order to reserve strength for European and domestic league challenges, now that silverware is on the line there is sure to be no quarter given to either side.
